Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy of nebulized furosemide in children with moderate attack of asthma.
Bronchodilators are the most commonly used drugs for asthma. However, alternative treatment is necessary for those patients who experience adverse effects from bronchodilators. ⋯ Combination of both furosemide and albuterol led to significant increase in peak flow rate but it did not significantly affect FEV1, FVC, FEF 25-75, respiratory rate, SaO2 or clinical scores as compared to other groups. There were no significant adverse effects from the three drugs used.
